Gripe water

My LO (little one) has had bad trapped wind and reflux so took her to the drs who said try gripe water before pumping her with other stuff (she’s 6 weeks old, but was born 6weeks early)

Amelia is a EBF.... now I’ve noticed her poo sizes have decreased from a full nappy at every change to less and less and now nothing. Can this be the gripe water blocking/constipating her or is her body starting to get used to not wasting breast milk? She’s not been herself last 2 days anyway as she’s going through a growth spurt so she’s only waking for feeds then back to sleep xx

I've been using gripe water and found it to really work and help with the wind.not sure about constipation as we have t noticed a difference. My lo got a cold and that did affect bowel movements etc Xx

Lovely thanks girls. I didn’t give her gripe water at her last feed to see if it is the water as she pooed before that feed and if it is constipation. So just waiting for her to wake up and then I’ll know xx
